研究紹介

研究テーマ

高機能ゲルやソフトマターの開発。特に高強度ゲル、自己進化ゲル、低摩擦ゲル、高接着ゲル、生体適合ゲルの開発

キーワード

高分子ゲル, 生体代替材料, 再生医療

研究概要

私たちの最終目標は、筋肉、軟骨、腱などの生体軟部組織と比較して、より強靭で高機能なゲルを開発することです。このゲルの医療分野などへの応用を行っていきたいと考えています。そのため、ICReDDでは、分子レベルでの設計にもとづく代謝能や自己成長機構を有した物質を作り出すことを目指しています。

これらのために、生体系における機能について、実際の生体系からヒントを得て仮説を立てます。その仮説をもとに、生体機能と同等もしくはより優れた特性を持つ化合物を合成します。それを用いて前述の仮説を検証し、合成した化合物の物理的特性を調べます。この検証結果から次の仮説を立て、改良を加えていきます。

研究者の思い

科学者というのはある意味とてもユニークな職業です。アーティストのように、創造性とひたむきさが必要で、自分の興味をとことん追求していくからです。何かを発見したり創り出したときには、この上ない喜びを感じることができます。私が科学者に興味をもつようになった理由の一つは、子どもの頃に研究者、特にマリー・キュリーの伝記を読んだからです。女性にとって多くの困難を伴った時代にこれほどの成果をあげた女性がいたことに小さな私はとても心を動かされました。今日でさえ化学の分野で博士課程に進む女子学生や女性化学者はまだまだ少ないので、もっと増えてくれたらいいと思っています。
